What basic writing skills does this piece of writing showcase?
What COULD this piece of writing do well that it is not doing well now?

End-Of-Semester Survey (HW extra-cred!)
Hi, friends,
Yet again! The Writing Program asks students to take a CONFIDENTIAL survey at the beginning and end of each semester so that we can gather data about how student writing develops. We are looking for TRENDS and PATTERNS in what students say about their writing processes-- NOT for information about specific students.
You'll get an email receipt once you've completed the survey-- please forward it to me, and I will give you an extra credit homework grade as a thank-you for helping us gather this data.
Thanks in advance!

Portfolio Assignment Sheet
Select 15 pages of writing that you feel could benefit from extensive revision. Consider using:
· Blog posts
· Graded assignments
· Resume/CV/Cover letter
· Personal statement for an internship or job
· Maybe! An assignment from another Guilford Class
Fill out an assessment sheet for each item in the portfolio. I will provide this sheet. You will fill it out.
Develop a one-page Revision Plan for your portfolio centered around:
1. One major goal for content
2. One major goal for structure
3. One major goal for style.
This is a general process that you will follow for revising each item in the portfolio. You should outline a specific set of steps (the same steps) that you will follow for each piece of writing.

REVISE! RADICALLY! Meet with me in office hours. Use the learning commons. Follow your plan!
Write a 1-page revision reflection reviewing your writing process and highlighting what worked and what didn’t. This is not a reflection on the course- it a reflection on your writing process. What were your major points of growth this semester? What were you major challenges? What do you wish to work on next semester? How, specifically, do you see writing fitting into your college education, now that you've got one full semester under your belt?
Submit to me via email (all in one email as attachments, please)
An assessment sheet for each revised assignment
· Your Revision Plan
· Your Revision Reflection
· The original copy AND revised copy of each piece. I NEED BOTH.
TADA! All done! Veg out!
